The Grave Says Nothing
I can't forget my beloved one
Whose fate now lies in a grave,
I remember him at every moment
Of his company I crave;
But the grave says nothing.
Day after day I stare -
At the grave with wistful eyes,
Hoping that Lord would answer my pleas
And my beloved would rise;
But the grave says nothing.
Many tears I shed
That fall on my feet,
Each day I come to my beloved
To plead;
But the grave says nothing.
I wish from my heart
That he would rise,
And I fix on the grave
My patient, eager eyes;
But the grave says nothing.
Finally, I forget him
I go on my way -
But, ever silent, my beloved
And the grave lay;
The grave ... says nothing.
